The recent results announced by the Peshawar Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) have raised alarm across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as reports reveal that a majority of students were unable to clear the examinations this year.

According to initial reports, the overall pass percentage has dropped significantly compared to previous years, leaving thousands of students and parents disheartened and worried. Many parents and students have attributed the poor results to questionable marking standards, a difficult curriculum, and the lack of proper guidance provided to students.

Teachers' associations have also expressed concern, urging the board to review its marking system and address complaints regarding unfair evaluation.“This is not just about numbers; it is about the future of our children,” a senior teacher remarked.

Parents have demanded transparent investigations into the result compilation process, while several students are preparing to file applications for rechecking in hopes of correcting potential errors in their marks.

Education experts argue that the low success rate reflects deeper flaws in the education system, including outdated teaching methods, inadequate teacher training, and a lack of facilities in government schools. They have called for urgent reforms to ensure students are better prepared for future examinations.
